Three copper-alloy fragments of an Anglo-Saxon tweezers that form one half of the tweezers. The finder has glued the three fragments together. The artefact has an in-turned nib which extends for 2.41mm. The arm has a wide flare by the nib, 13.53mm wide, and then tapers to 3.88mm at a length of 42.25mm.

Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: City of Peterborough
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy hooked clothing tag of Early-Medieval to early Medieval date. This tag is likely to be a Read, B.

The tag is made of sheet metal and is triangular in shape. At least part of the top of the hooked tag plate is missing, the left hand side corner, as well as the majority of the hook. The top edge of the tag seems to have probably been scalloped of at least two semicircular curves. At the centre of this edge, at the poi…
